More quotes by Errol Morris
My stuff always starts with interviews. I start interviewing people, and then slowly but surely, a movie insinuates itself.
Errol Morris
I've been involved in doing advertising for various elections and I just couldn't see doing anti-Trump advertising in this election. My line has been, How could you do anything worse that what he does himself?.
Errol Morris
The first Polaroid ever took of someone in my family was my son when he was about four years old.
Errol Morris
The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.
Errol Morris
We falsely interpret the world around us. We ignore evidence that doesn't support our prior beliefs and we convince ourselves we know things we don. We think we know things we don't know.
Errol Morris
It's so much easier to make a movie about someone who is so likeable that you just want to get out of the way.
Errol Morris
I think we get into all kinds of difficulty by saying photographs should be taken in a certain way which guarantees their veracity. I think that's a slippery slope to hell.
Errol Morris
There is something about the photographs that is endlessly disturbing. The fact that we like to think of them as torture actually hides what is really deeply offensive about them.
Errol Morris
Truth is a pursuit, it's a quest. And proof is certainly in the pudding in this particular instance, because the film, and the evidence accumulated in making the film, led to this man's release from prison. And that's hardly ever happened, if it's happened at all, in any other film that I can think of.
Errol Morris
There is only one direction. (Down.) There is only one color. (Black.) And there is only one number (Zero.)
Errol Morris
I've done interviews in one day that went on for fifteen, sixteen hours. And at a certain point, the control over what they're saying breaks down it becomes different. It becomes really powerful, and for me, real. It becomes out of control.
Errol Morris
I used to work as a private detective years and years ago.
Errol Morris
But there's a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story.
Errol Morris
I believe we have two ideas about how movies are made in our heads. Idealizations. Platonic ideals. One of them is of a movie that is completely uncontrolled, and another is a movie that is completely controlled. The auteur theory vs. cinéma vérité.
Errol Morris
I've had people turn me down. Not all that many, but certainly it happens.
Errol Morris
Listening to what people were saying wasn't even important. But it was important to look as if you were listening to what people were saying. Actually, listening to what people are saying, to me, interferes with looking as if you were listening to what people are saying.
Errol Morris
I don't think that anybody really makes films quite like mine. That's maybe true of any filmmaker.
Errol Morris
I like to think that every movie emerges from the conversations.
Errol Morris
Not suing others does not mean that others won't sue you.If people are desperate enough to think that they can gain some kind of financial advantage, they'll sue.

It's pretty clear that fame isn't inextricably connected with merit .
